LAKSA NOODLE SOUP
Recipe video above. This is a recipe for a real Malaysian restaurant quality laksa made by sprucing up store bought laksa paste! You can't just dump store bought laksa paste into coconut broth! The key is to freshen up the paste by sautéing it with garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass. Makes a world of difference! This makes 2 large bowls. Because large is the only way to go with Laksa!

LAKSA CURRY PASTE
Entered for safe-keeping, since jarred laksa curry paste can be hard to find. This came from New Zealand Womans Weekly magazine. This goes together quickly in a food processor. Once the paste is made, add your choice of fish or meat or vegetables, stock, cooking yogurt or a can of coconut cream, and your Laksa Soup is ready for dinner. This is spicy.
